CiuiGzation-'On The Wrong End.

U. S. Interpreter, pioneer over
seer and statesman of the White
Earth reservation, having been
called before the recent U. S. Sen
ate Investigating Committee, was
asked as to what he had to say re-
garding Indian prosperity and
progress We take pleasure in
publishing our venerable 'Uncle's
views on this subject and believe
our readers will likewise read them
with interest.
| Talking about the progress of
this reservation, l would respect
fully state to the honorable com.
mittee that the Government of the
United States has taken the WRONG
end of the work to civilize these
Indians; that whenever people
like mine, who are surrounded by
civilization, want to cope with the
age OF progress and are given a
sickle at the time when grain era
dies are invented, and then given
a grain cradle when reapers are
invented, [ say it is taking them
at the wrong end Of the business.
The Indians are men who notice
all these things.
But the question you were pleas
ed to ask me is Of such a nature
and Of such magnitude that when
a person does not wish to make a
rose'colored report of his people
it is very difficult one to answer.
Surrounded by all kinds of inhu-
ences for good and for evil, we are
not all angels on this reservation.
That is fact. But, sir, I would
respectfully state that the progress
Of this reservation has been, not
withstanding all this, and | think
is very encouraging.
| have been sir, in my humble
capacity, taking statistics from
year to year. l shall show you in
the first place that [ was appoint
ed here as overseer. The Govern
ment had funds in it's hands to
start these people towards progress
if they had been we'll managed, ju-
diciously managed.
Instead of that, your humble
servant was sent here to do all the
|plowing with his own hands for
all the Indians, compelled to do it,
compelled to split rails by the day
and haul them, and with only one
poor yoke of oxen to help about
five or six hundred Indians. No
man was ever given to me to aid
me in this.
However, / kept at work even
though I did not like the service,
for | wished to cary out the views
[ started with. I had heard it said
in Washington and in a great ma.
ny places, that the Indians were
}incapab of civilization T con
cluded that without energy ana
means we could not become citi.
zens Of the United States; that
could not be grown certainly as a
wart on a tree, but | must make
myself conspicuous in some place
or other.
! God had bestowed upon me good
courage and energy, and I thought
[ would prove when they said an
Indian could not be civilized, that
it was not so. So [ started with
that feeling when I first came
| here. #
Year by year moneys have been
expended here, but to what pur.
pose? Unfortunately at the time
when we had money the Indians
knew nothing about the work,
When we look back through his.
tory and see the number of years
that it took to ciyilize and bring
to its perfection the Anglo~Saxon
race, why should you wish to say
that we ought to be civilized in
twenty years. Just look at it; we
who have sucked the breast Of 10.
norance from time immemorial, Is
not that too much to ask Of uss

fact; | know that to be a thing
that is possible
| More Practice, And Less PyeQchinq.
Here s what one Of Minnesota S
prominent and gifted pioneers and
experienced Indian civilizers has
to say to the question regarding
the practicability of form Of
home government, and general SUI
pervision Of reservation affairs by
the people Of the reservation.
THAT would be in the line of
advancement, unquestionably.
| was sent once by Commission
er Smith to Wausau, Wis, to
make a payment to a lot of civil
lied Indians, lumbermen, there,
and he wrote down to them that
the Government wanted them to
go to farming, and gave them most
excellent advise, but it being het-
erodox it never came to light. On
that occasion the Indian chief
told me this: He said, "Tell the
white people | do not intend to 90
to farming; we have not got a
good farming country here. We
are lumbermen and we run the
Wisconsin rapids, where the white
men are afraid to run because they
would get drowned; and if the
Government will allow me to cut
my own timber, sell it, and spend
the money get for it as I please,
wiN not ask for any annuities or
anything else from the Government.
If they will allow me to cut and
sell my lumber that is all [ ask"
The trouble is in such cases that
you ask these partially civilized
men to go out and work, and then
take the money they earn and turn
it oUer to the Government. The
Indian does not know how money
dissipates when distributed in
large masses, and that is the trou-
BILE, they ought to know; they
ought to be allowed to cut. their
pine, sell it, and do what they like
with the money. I do not believe
IN acting as foster to these we'll
civilized Indians any longer. I
expect that at first the Indian
would act like the white lumber
men, who come out of the woods
and get drunk. The white men do
that, all nationalities of them.
When | was there at Waueau these
Northern lumbermen had just
come in and they were all drink
ing; the town was full of them,
and one Of the Indian chiefs said
to me, ''What is the use of talk
ing to me about getting drunk? :?
There are Swedes, Germans, Irish
. men, Norwegians and Yankees,
and they are all drinking, and now
. you won't allow me to cut nv
own pine timber and do what |
please with the money
. That is the idea, that they shall
live a just and temperate life;x and
the first speech that the ordinary
missionary will make to them is
to quit smoking! | heard one of
them an old Indian, say to the in
terpretor: "What does he say! Is
. he a fool! Don't he know that
when we have tobacco we can get
. through hard and cold winter by
, smoking and living on little foodl'
4 Of course, if you have tobacco
and are warm, anybody can do it.
! Smoking is conservative. They
always want tobacco rather than
/ beef or anything else. That is
/ what they reserve for their fasts.
/ When they cannot get whitefsh,
lit they have tobacco they can
get through the winter. There is
no use in lecturing an Indian and
advising him to quit smoking.
You had better let him become
